We have been putting our customers on large numbers of Hook and Line Caught Hogfish this year! The bite has been consistently strong. Although it takes some time to locate this Best in Breed, Gulf of Mexico Table Fare, once we do our customers couldn’t be happier hand cranking some up from the Gulf floor! Not only do these Hogfish put up a GREAT fight, but getting on some of these Hard to Find and even harder to catch delicacies brings big smiles to everyone aboard. We specialize in teaching our clients the tricks to catching this ever elusive fish and our clients have been getting it done!

During our charters not only are we hand cranking Hogfish, but we have also been putting our clients on a great assortment of by-catch consisting of large numbers of Mangrove Snapper, Joltheads and many Gag and Red Grouper. Unfortunately the Gag Bite is only for sport as they are currently closed for harvesting. But having a few large ones come into the mix makes for a great fight for our charter clients and a memorable photo op.  On Feb. 7th 2014 we took two lucky clients on a 1/2 day run to our secret fishing grounds and true to Island Lure form, we nailed them yet again! Below are some pictures from our charter.
